Jubliee Church

Stopped by Jubilee Church this afternoon -- they were finishing up the church service, setting up tables and starting to serve lunch. I felt welcome and found the people to be non-judgmental and appreciative.  The place was packed! Met Pastor Koval and a very helpful person named Brooke who explained they feed a lot of homeless people.  Found out that 4 churches in Kenora take turns serving meals every evening to those in need and the Jubilee Church serves two meals (lunch and dinner) on Sunday. The cook was serving up plates of food - french fries, chicken fingers and cole slaw to people who were eager to eat.  Saw people of all ages and a few families with small children.  I was touched by generosity of the church volunteers serving food to the many people who were obviously in need. I wondered about the children there, what their lives are like and how having to struggle to get enough food to eat would be such an incredible challenge.
